Starbreeze assembles elite unit for Payday 3 upgrades

Jan 22, 2024 10:06 AM

Starbreeze Studios, aware of Payday 3's struggles with bugs and matchmaking issues indicated by mixed and recently mainly negative Steam reviews, has assembled a 'strike team' to improve the game. This team, comprised of experienced developers specializing in design, community, communication, and production, aims to bring the game up to player expectations. After taking in extensive player feedback across forums, social media, and video responses, they are developing an action plan which will be shared with the community in February. Improving Payday 3 is a priority for Starbreeze, showing commitment to their player base and the longevity of the game.

What enhancements can Payday 3 players expect from Starbreeze Studios in the near future?

Players can expect Payday 3 to undergo significant improvements as a 'strike team' of developers is working on addressing the game's issues such as bugs and matchmaking problems, with plans for these enhancements to be revealed in February.

Payday 3 is the latest entry in the popular Payday series by Starbreeze Studios. It's a cooperative first-person shooter with a strong focus on heists, allowing players to come together to pull off complex robberies. The game is known for its intense action and teamwork-based gameplay. However, the series has seen ups and downs, with the parent company facing financial difficulties in recent years. Payday 3's launch was seen as a vital step towards the recovery of the studio, making the need for post-launch improvements not only a response to player feedback but crucial for the game's success and future prosperity of Starbreeze Studios.

Gotta hand it to Starbreeze for not just throwing in the towel with Payday 3; putting together a veteran 'strike team' shows they're serious about that comeback life. Here's hoping the action plan they drop next month is the golden key that unlocks all that hidden potential – players deserve that epic heist experience without the glitches cramping their style. 🛠️🔫

Starbreeze's move to roll out a 'strike team' highlights the studio's understanding that keeping your community hooked and happy is key. It's reassuring to see them not just acknowledge the issues of Payday 3 but actively digging into patchwork — it shows they're in for the long heist, not just a smash and grab at launch.
